WANT TO KNOW WHAT I THINK "RIPENESS IS ALL" MEANS?

About Me

I'm just a middle-aged peasant from the wilds of Connecticut. I like my love John, music, art, cats, and bittersweet chocolate. I have metastatic breast cancer, which is incurable, so I'm usually in a big hurry to live. I take the slow lane only, though. I don't want to get hit by the proverbial bus!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~When the time comes, I give up life without regret to feed a spirit greater than mine. I shall die, a small thing become part of the larger world. May we live forever and forever. May the light shine through us and on us and in us. May we die each night and be born each morning that the wonder of life should not escape us. May we love and laugh and enter lightly into each other's hearts.May we live forever. May we live forever.
